Chapter 133: Indecisive

Seeing stalker one's pathetic state, Taro broke into laughter. "Ah, don't worry. I'm not gonna kill you or something." He said as fallen bodies surrounded him.

However, the stalker didn't have time to consider whether what he said was actually the truth or a ploy to humiliate him and kill him off later. Even if it's the latter, he had to grasp at this one chance.

"Oh, thank you, my liege! I'll never forget your benevolence. You are the greatest!" His mouth spouted words of flattery like it's something that he said on a usual basis.

"I'm benevolent, huh?" Taro muttered.

"Yes, you are!" Stalker one nodded his head.

"And I'm the greatest?" Taro asked, as he slightly fidgeted in embarrassment. There was no way that stalker one didn't notice this action!

"Yea! You are the greatest person who I've ever seen!" Stalker one cheered.

"And I'm a freaking bastard that you hate." Taro muttered with a serious expression this time around.

"Yea—wait, no! I don't hate you. I adore you, my liege!" He cried.

Taro clicked his tongue. "I hate liars, you know?" He sighed.

"I did not lie except for the last one!" Stalker one countered, trying to salvage the situation.

"Hmm, if that's the case, don't you think it's even more weird? I mean, I beat all your subordinates and I'm on the verge of beating you up. For you to 'adore' me would mean that you have something similar to Stockholm syndrome. You got that?" Taro asked.

"Yea, yea! I got that!" Stalker one nodded his head even more vigorously.

"Ha… You know how actual people with mental illness find it hard to say that they got that, however the ones who don't have that have no actual difficulty in saying stuff like they are a bit mental? I feel like we got a similar situation here." Taro replied.

"But I'm not lying…" Stalker one continued denying Taro's claims.

"Maybe not. But do I look like I care? I just wanted to entertain myself a bit. Now that I've done it, I'm bored with you." Taro spoke.

"You said you won't kill me." The man mumbled.

"That's right. I won't kill you. Instead, I'll injure you… I'll injure you badly." Taro spoke as he revealed a faint smile on his face.

He picked the stalker by his head and repeatedly rammed him to a wall nearby. The stalker's group were kind enough to find an isolated place, so he didn't have to worry about people coming to find out what the ramming voice was. There was nobody there to stop him.

Except for one. "Stop!" A shriek was heard. Taro looked back to see Abhirami on her knees now, screaming at him.

"Hmm? Why'd you want me to stop?" Taro asked.

"Those are humans as well! If you beat him like that, they'll die." She cried.

"Why do you pity them? What if I wasn't able to fend them off and asked you to escape while you got the chance and in the end, you found me dead? Will you be forgiving them like you're doing right now if I was dead as well?" Taro asked.

Abhirami stayed silent for a while. "But you're not dead, right?" She mumbled.

"And how does that relate to the question that I just asked? I might not be dead, but it's not like every other guy could do what I did just now." Taro spoke.

"Yea, how did you do that?" She asked.

"Answer me! I'm asking you a question! Don't deviate from the topic." Taro sounded serious as he said that.

Abhirami sighed. "I don't know. I didn't think that far. Had you died, I would've cursed them to death." She replied.

"See? What's so different now?" Taro asked.

"You're alive now! You don't have to do this!" She cried back.

"Again with that! So, you're fine about cursing them to death had I died, but you don't like it that I'm alive and trying to beat them to death. Does that make any sense to you?" Taro asked.

"But…" Abhirami tried defending her statement. However, Taro was irate at that moment, so he wasn't interested in listening to anything that she wanted to say.

"You're indecisive. I don't like indecisive people." He looked away from her. "By the way, I'm not gonna kill him. Killing is not part of my creed." He replied.

"Then, the people here are-"

"They're all alive. However, they made a grave mistake in attacking me. So, I had to give them the punishment for doing so." He spoke as he bashed stalker one few more times to the wall before throwing him aside. "So, what are you gonna do now?" He asked.

It took her some time, but she realized what he meant. "Oh, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." She replied. She was literally shivering as she said those words.

Taro laughed. "Your conscience won't be able to handle this big of a secret." He spoke.

"Trust me! I can handle it!" Abhirami assured.

"Look, you are one of the biggest blabbermouths that I've ever seen. So, it's hard to trust your words in that case." Taro replied.

"I'm not kidding! I'll keep it a secret to my grave!" She shouted.

"Hmm, it's not like I don't trust your word, but I really don't trust your word." Taro shrugged.

"Then what are you gonna do?" Abhirami asked, as she slowly stepped away from Taro.

"Well, I'm gonna relieve you from the burden of carrying such a secret." He replied.

"How? By killing me?" She asked.

"This girl! I don't kill people, it's my creed—I told that to you before, right?" Taro sighed.

"Then how are you gonna do it?" She asked.

"Let me make a call. He's gonna relieve you from it." Taro replied.

"He?"

"A friend. Wait." Taro dialed up a phone number and called. "Hey, I sent you the coordinates. You can come here, right? Oh, what happened? Well-" Taro got busy chatting with this friend of his.

Meanwhile, Abhirami found it as the perfect opportunity to escape. She felt something was fishy. She wanted to run away as soon as possible. So, she slowly stepped back from Taro before trying to make a full-fledged escape.
